Career professionals face growing challenges when supporting older clients through career transitions. Career and professional growth evolve dramatically from midlife onward, with distinct considerations at each stage. Drawing from research and real-world experience, this book addresses the complex challenges professionals face in midlife transitions and the profound shift into retirement. It explores how clients can leverage decades of experience, adapt to evolving industries, and navigate age-related perceptions, all while finding meaning beyond traditional work life.
Readers will discover practical strategies to support older clients through these transitions. The accessible, coaching-focused tone will guide professionals through helping clients identify transferable skills, implement personal branding, and networking. There are also deeper insights into managing identity shifts and discovering new purpose. Each chapter offers actionable advice and inspirational stories, helping clients transform professional experience into new opportunities.
